Never before has the power or international importance of the Salvation Army been so apparent as at the present moment when it is faced with the greatest crisis in its history. Our coatributor, a who was at one time an oßeial in the Editorial Department of the International Headquarters of the Salvation Army in London, is able to write about the crisis from actual knowledge and experi- ence and is thus able to make clear to the lay mind the exact motives underlying General Booth's opposition to the wishes of the Eigh Council who have requested his resignation.
